AN EXCEPTIONAL AMERICAN. An Exceptional Connecticut Yankee
 Newspapers View,

T have done nothing" says the an archist, Parsons, 'for which any man of honor should feel ashamed. l have of- tended against no laws of my country. am condemned to death for exercising the privileges of an American citizen of the United States by the Federal consti- tutiOn." And Parsons, facing death bravely and cheerfully, would not ask to be pardoned for exercising his right to speak, feeling that such asking would be confession of guilt, and feeling too that having humbled him the officials would all the more triumphantly hang him. And this man is an American-one of those exceptional Americans with the back bone of hero and the self respect of a foreigner. We are glad to be able to say that one man native born is among the seven who denounced slavery in the land of slavery and that he preferred death to dishonor. Let it be remembered that one of these men was an American. -Watsted Press.

VOICE FROM ENGLAND.
The Christian Socialists Petition the.
 Governor of Illinois.

A largely attended meeting of Christian Socialists was held in Lon don last Monday night. A peti- tion to Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, asking for q respite in the case of the Anarchists was unanimously adopted. The petition was at once cabled to the Governor. The general sentiment among the working classes in London is that the men in Chicago are being sacrificed, simply because the capitahstic crowd wishes to get them out of the way. Every Englishmen knows that un- der the law of his country such a judicial murder as hanging seven men as accessories to an unknown principal would be impossible, and men can hardly bring themselves to believe that such tragedy is abso- lutel y to be consummated under the free government of the United States.

himself mansion of marble, plate glass and frescoed walls. In another place he built and in princely man. ner endowed church. He sub scribed vast sums of money for be- nevolent purposes. He equipped and sustained an educational institu- tlon. The world knew him and hailed him as an example of Christian charity. To crown all he was praised and lauded for an act which elevated him above all else-he upheld the laws that enabled him to enjoy the fruit of the labor of these diggers.
 This ability of his to sustain and uphold the law was developed in this way. One day there came among the diggers one who told them that these clans they were digging were by right their own; that they should re- fuse to dig any more clans for the man who styled himself the God.ap- pointed owner of them; that not only one peck of clans was thelr rightful wage but the whole two bushels dug by each. When this was made plain to the diggers they all went up to the owners mansion and throwing down their rakes cried out to him; "Thou robber Thou robber of our toll and just wages r And the owner grew afraid lest they dispossess him of his ease. He be- thought him of acunning expedient. He cajoled men to arm themselves and fight for him against the diggers. He found bands of mercenaries who were willing to do this in considera- ton of a large measure of clans. They formed cordon about the shores of the cove and pushed back with bayonets the diggers who had the temerity to venture near. 9th CTS in the garb of the diggors passed among the people until they had learned the name of the man who spoke the truth to these simple ones, the diggers. Having learned his name they immediately brought him before 8 magistrate, who was himself dependent on the owner for the clans he needed for his daily sub- sistencc. The truth-teller was hanged. Those who had listened to his voice were dispersed and deprived of the privilege of digging any clans from the cove. Others were found eager to take their work for the meager dole. -Eugeae Hough, in Denoer Labor Enquirer.

THE CONDEMNED.
Their Fate Rests With Governor
 0glcsby- Communication.

A large number of petitioners for cx- ecutive clemency appeared before Gov ernor Richard ]. Oglesby, of Illinois, last Wednesday, including the wives. imme- diate relatives of the prisoners. Even Judge Gary sent letter sanctioning mercy in the case of Fielden. Three of the prisoners sent letters king for favorable consideration of their case. while four ot them stoutly maintained that they wanted no mercy, but de- manded justice. Samuel Gompers and Edward King of New York, made ad- dresses, as did General NJ. NJ. Trumbull.
 As we go to press, the case seems to be this: That the condemned may pos sibly be reprleved for time; that further legal bubbles may be raised by counsel which would call for Il reprieve; that the capitalists are anxious to have the men executed, but some of the wiser ones among them recognize the danger to which such a proceeding exposes their immediate interests; that individu
 als who have prominently taken part in the unjust conviction of these men, have an inkling that history repeats it. self, and are not overanNious to create conditions that would superinduce n repetition of history that might serious
 ly affect their comfort or conduce to the parturition of that combination neces sary to continued existence-fear, in short. There are some noble souls who have possibly little influence, and they are exerting it. The Governor himself is said to be man of superior qualities. The opportunity to do justice is tleeting will it be done?

A Coterie of Peculiar People Calling
 Themselves Anarchists.

There are in New York city number of people who call themselves anarchists and who seem to be very anxious to make capital for their peculiar insanity out of the Chicago affair. They evident ly want the victims of the police to be hung, They have organized under the deceptive name of Federated Trades Unions, sent out circulars and called meetings that could not possibly have any good effect for the condemned, Ow- ing to their being called on the very eve of their proposed execution. As an ex- ample of their insanity they demanded that the United German Trades, 2 recog- nized labor organization of New York, postpone an advertised meeting of theirs for legitimate purposes on Thursday evening, declaring that all who attended said meeting were towards and in sym pathy with the intended judicial murder.
 It is needless to say that Trades Union ists and Social 'ts are not at all in sym pathy with these peoples methods be cause they do more harm to the labor movement, and in the present instance are calculated to injure what slim chances there are for the lives of the unfortunate prisoners m Chicago.

WILLING SLAVES.

The workingmen of Chicago have re- elected Joseph F. Gary, republican, ; giving him seven times as many votes as were cast for w. r. Black, the Labor Party's candidate. This goes to prove the Socialist position corr ect, that the workingmen need education upon labor politics before they will intelligent J vote.

NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
Doodle Asserts It's Power Over lgn1. R. rance and Uses It.

 R. rance and Uses It.
 There IS the same story to tell once more in regard to the use of the labor ballot by the workmen-- they did not use it extensively. lg- norance of the history and object of the movement, short sighted grasping for elusive success" and want of organization have accom- plished what all Capital combined could not if the opposite were the rule.
 NEW YORK.
 The Labor party in New York boiled a round 5000 votes. Not at all discouragng to the men who ex- pec.ed less while willing to sec more. The Labor Party will prob- ably take the matter philosophically and continues the agitation and the work of labor reform as usual. The George craze has been reduced by about half, and the party of Success is in q bad way. Still the 35, 900 votes cast for their dcmigod shows what enthusiasm will do even if reason is absent.
 The republican vote" was small, and it looks as if many of them voted with the democrats" The democratic" papers are jublant over the result, and the vote of l0O,- 900 shows the low standard of in- telligence which prevails in the me trorolis.
 John Swinton received 5000 votes, which is larger in proportion to that of any Labor candidate. He was Labor's candidate for Senator of the Eth District. :. New York State is democratic" by a large majority. Georges vote outside of New York was insignif- cant.
 NEW JERSEY.
 The Republican" ticket was gen. erally successful in New Jersey, and the labor vote was light, One of the George candidates, proprietor of so called labor paper, the New Jersey Unionist, sold out at the eleventh hour to the democrats. |" OTHER STATES.
 In the other States the capitalist parties had things their own way cn- tirely save IS Ohio, where Seitz, the Union Labor Party's candidate for Governor, received 10000 votes; though the State went "republi can." Rhode Island and Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania are also "republican" strongholds, while Virginia and Maryland continue d. legiance to "democratic' boodleism.
 Organized Labor has the privilege of continuing it's bat le for freedom, and the workingmen may as well us understand that they have much to do and much to learn before they can omancipate themselves from wage slavery and political slavery. The masses will win when they be- come conscious that they are en- titled to control.

War Rumors and Preparations 10

VIENNA, January 24.-Althongh the
Bulgarian situation has improved the
military preparations Of the Austro-
Hungarian Government continue una
bated. In the event OF mobilization
three great armies will be formed, each
corps having no less than 250, 900 men.
The commanders for these corps have
already been designated. II is believed
that these gigantic preparations have
been undertaken less from fear OF war
with Russia concerning Bulgaria than
with view to the contingency OF
war between. France and Germany,
which would cause additional eastern
complications. The rules governing
the Landsturm, which have been pub
lished, show that nothing except blind
ness, dumbness, and lameness will ex-
empt men from service, and that drafts
from the Landsturm will be used 10 I'LL
up the gaps in the regular army and
navy reserves. The new rules have
rather surprised the country, such
sweeping stringent conditions not
having been expected. 1t is estimated
that the Landsturm would supply .
million additional men to the army.

The Hastings Court of Manchester
met again at 10 A. NJ. yesterday, when

jury had spent Sunday under charge of
Sergeant Fitzgerald or his deputies,

The first witness examined yesterday
was Lewis Kidd, the prisoner. He was

very straightforward in giving in his
testimony, which was in substance what
had already been given by witnesses for
the Commonwealth. He further related
two previous difficulties between CALI
